Through The Barricades - Spandau Ballet - Connie Talbot (Cover)

Hi guys, I hope you enjoy this cover of one of my favourite Spandau Ballet songs, "Through The Barricades". I think this song is beautiful melodically and lyrically, I'm really enjoying just having some fun creating these videos for you. I'm excited to be writing and releasing more of my original songs soon. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this one. I have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Tony Hadley a few times over the years, and he is wonderful both as a person and as a musician, so it's been fun to sing this one.

Thanks for taking the time to be with me on here, I'll see you soon :)

Lyrics:

Mother doesn't know where love has gone,
She says it must be youth, that keeps us feeling strong
I see it in her face that's turned to ice,
And when she smiles, she shows the lines of sacrifice

And now I know what they're saying as the sun begins to fade
We made our love on waste land,
Through the barricades

Father made my history,
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
He taught me what to say in school
I learned it off by heart, but now that's torn in two

And now I know what they're saying in the music of the parade
We made our love on waste land,
Through the barricades

Born on different sides of life
But we feel the same and feel all of this strife
So come to me when I'm asleep
And we'll cross the lines and dance upon the street

And now I know what they're saying
As the drums begin to fade
We made our love on waste land
Through the barricades

Oh turn around and I'll be there
There's a scar right through my heart
but I'll bare it again
I thought we were the human race,
but we were just another borderline case
And the stars reach down and tell us
There's always one escape

Oh, I don't know where love has gone
And in this troubled land, desperation keeps us strong
Friday's child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose, there's everything to go

And now I know what they're saying
It's a terrible beauty we've made
We made our love on waste land
Through the barricades

Now I know what they're saying
As our hearts go to their grave
We made our love on waste land,
Through the barricades.
